While Graham Alexander looks to bring in new additions to his Scunthorpe United squad, the 23 other teams in League One have also been doing so in an attempt to bolster the ranks of their squads for the upcoming season.

The Iron may have missed out on signing a number of these players as they have joined their new clubs.

Are there any players who have joined a fellow League One club who you would have liked to have seen at Glanford Park?

Here, we look at every signing in League One as we identify each team’s best signing so far during the transfer window.

The best signings in League One so far this summer

AFC Wimbledon – Kwesi Appiah (Crystal Palace)

The Ghanaian international striker has the potential to become a prolific goal-scorer in League One.

Appiah has impressed during his team in the youth teams at Crystal Palace. He has had impressive loan spells at Cambridge United and AFC Wimbledon, showing his ability to beat defenders with his speed whilst being composed in front of goal.

He and fellow new striker Cody McDonald could form a formidable League One strike partnership.

Blackburn Rovers - Peter Whittingham (Cardiff City)

League One newcomers Blackburn Rovers have made several impressive signings to the squad as they have brought in quality and experienced players.

Former Cardiff City winger Peter Whittingham, in particular, is a shrewd acquisition.

Whittingham has been a consistent performer for Cardiff over the past 10 seasons and showed last season he is still more than capable of producing the goods, as he scored 7 goals and assisted 8 and was a key figure for the Bluebirds.

With him dropping down a division, expect those stats to rise and for him to have a productive season as Blackburn look to return to the Championship.

Blackpool - Max Clayton (Bolton Wanderers)

The 22-year-old striker has undoubted potential and could unlock it at with a run of first-team football at Blackpool.

Clayton has suffered three serious injuries in his career which have clearly hampered his progress. If he is able to stay fit for a full season, he could certainly become a key player and fan favourite at Bloomfield Road.

During his time at Crewe Alexandra, Clayton drew comparisons to Michael Owen with his finishing abilities with both feet.

Oxford United – James Henry (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

After spending the majority of his career in the Championship, Oxford United have secured a quality signing in James Henry.

The winger spent last season on loan at Bolton Wanderers as he made 30 appearances for the Trotters as they gained automatic promotion back to the Championship.

Still only 28 years old, Henry brings experience and proven ability to Oxford and will provide a goal threat as they look to build and improve from last season after finishing 8 and just missing out on the playoffs.

Portsmouth – Brett Pitman (Ipswich Town)

Portsmouth signed Brett Pitman from Ipswich Town as he signed a three-year deal on an undisclosed fee.

Pitman has been a consistent goal-scorer throughout his career when he has remained fit and will most likely be the main striker at Pompey with Gary Roberts and Milan Lalkovic amongst others providing goal-scoring opportunities for the 29-year-old.

In his last season in League One, he scored 19 goals in 26 appearances for Bournemouth.

Rochdale – Bradden Inman (Peterborough United, on loan)

Inman showed a lot of potential at Crewe Alexandra, which earned him a big move to Peterborough United, however, he broke his leg in preseason training with The Posh and spent the majority of last season recovering and playing his way into match fitness.

He will join Rochdale this season as he looks to show he has back to full health. If he manages to play at the level he did at Crewe for his new club, then Rochdale have added a quality player.

Inman is a hard-working midfielder who likes to keep possession whilst having an eye for goal.

Scunthorpe United – Rory McArdle (Bradford City)

The 30-year-old has been a consistent performer for the Bantams over the past five seasons for the Bantams and was a key figure in a back four that had the second-best defensive record in League One.

The Sheffield born defender is known as a tall, strong defender who can be a danger from set pieces and is technically gifted with both feet. He scored a beautiful goal against Scunthorpe back in 2014 with his weaker left foot.

McArdle will bring in the experience and leadership that Scunthorpe’s defence could be lacking after David Mirfin’s departure.
